Within Your Arms

You were home to me.
I found myself.
Everything was easy
when I found you by my side.

But then you knew
that my laughter
and my smiles
and my kisses
weren’t for you.
Anymore.

I wanted you
but wasn’t for you.

You wanted me
but I had already been taken.
Taken by hands, lips, and
bright green eyes.

He wasn’t home
and I only felt alone.
Wrapped in his arms
I lay in despair.

Remembering the comfort
The rain spattering.
The stillness of the lake.
The fog rolling in over
the rocks
and our first kiss.
